*Japans PoV*
I need to get America sad, so I can comfort him and he'll want to date me.
Saying his dad is dead didn't work.
Maybe I can talk to some people, and make them attack America, then I'll save him!
Perfect!
I text my group chat with the plans.
America will be mine.
*+*A few days later*+*
*Americas PoV*
My memory is slowly coming back. I trust Russia more, and he seems relieved about something.
He's making breakfast and singing.
I'm drawing. I have a class soon, and Russia finishes breakfast.
We eat, then head out. He refuses to let me walk anywhere without him. That sounds bad, but it's because he doesn't want me to get hurt, so I don't mind at all.
We walk to my class, and Russia's class isn't too far from here.
I say goodbye and walk into my class.
He smiles and walks to his class.
I sit in my normal seat.
Japan sits next to me. She does this a lot now.
Why does she? She was mean before, and suddenly she's super nice.
I don't trust her.
She smiles "Hi America!"
"Hi."
South Korea, Japan's best friend, sits on the other side of me. Japan asks "America, are you single?"
SK immediately says "I thought he was dating Russia?"
My face glows with blush, and I lay my head on the desk.
SK laughs, then asks "Well, are you interested in anyone?"
I look up and notice her phone recording. I pretend not to notice. "Well... I'm not sure."
Japan asks "Would you date me?"
I look at her in confusion. "You just started acting nice to me after I got back from the hospital. I barely know you."
She looks saddened, then says "Well, why don't you date me? You can get more popular!"
"I don't care about popularity. It's really stupid."
"People won't bully you!"
"I have Russia. Can you please leave me alone now?"
Why is she bothering me anyways?
Japan growls "Russia cant stop all of them. I can."
"How can you stop everyone? And can you please just go away?"
She grabs my arm tightly, hurting it. She leans close and whispers "You will date me, or I'll hurt you."
I panic.
I yank my arm from her grasp and yell "Leave me alone!"
She tries grabbing me again, and I run out of the room. We weren't learning anything important anyways.
She chases me, and I start running to Russia's class.
I run into Russia, who picks me up. I start crying.
"J-Japan said sh-she would h-hurt me if I didn't d-date her!"
He grumbles. "Japan needs to stop bothering people."
I nod, and he carries me back to the dorm. We start getting ready for work, when there's a knock at the door.
Russia answers it, and its Japan.
She says "I need to talk to America. We're going on a date soon."
I yell "One, we are NOT dating! Two, I'm going to work soon!"
Russia closes and locks the door while we get ready for work.
When we leave, I feel like we're being followed
I look behind us to see Japan jump into a bush.
I pull Russia down and whisper to him. "Japan's following us. I saw her jump into a bush."
He looks over, and we see her shoe poking out from under the bush.
Russia grabs her and shoves her in a nearby trashcan. "Know your place, trash!"
I chuckle a little, and Russia scoops me up. He runs to the coffee shop before Japan can get out of the trashcan.
We walk into work, and go talk to Ethiopia until our shift starts.
*+*A bit later*+*
*Russias PoV*
While serving customers, I look up just as Japan walks in.
She sees America and smiles at him. He doesn't notice, and continues making his order.
Japan walks up to the counter. I ask "May I take your order?"
She says "I want to be served my my boyfriend."
America finishes his order, and says "Japan, I'm not your boyfriend. Leave me alone."
America hands the order to the customer, and starts helping someone else.
I ask again. "May I take your order? He's busy right now."
She says "You'll probably poison my drink!"
"Why would I poison your drink?!"
America finishes with his customer, and Japan grabs his shoulders over the counter. He pushes her off and backs away.
Japan says "Babe, please serve me! That mean monster is gonna poison my drink!"
America says "I am not your boyfriend. Please leave me alone."
She grabs his shirt and pulls him in for a kiss.
I grab her arms and push her away before their lips connect. Meri hugs me and starts crying, and Japan starts yelling at me. Ethiopia comes out and says "Japan, please leave. I saw everything."
Japan says a bunch of stuff in Japanese, then storms out of the shop.
We finish our shift, and start heading home.
Some kids start congratulating Meri, and he asks "What did I do?"
Someone says "You got lucky! Japan chose you to be her boyfriend! She said that you said yes!"
America says "I never said yes. She lied."
They gasp. "How could you turn her down?! She's the hottest and most popular girl in school!"
"Popularity is stupid. We're in college! Why does it still exist?! And I don't like girls anyways!"
He doesn't like girls?
South Korea walks over. "Who do you like, America?"
He goes quiet.
SK asks again. "Who do you like?"
He mumbles "R- No one..."
SK almost yells "You were gonna say someone's name! Who is it?"
America says "It doesn't matter! Why do you want to know?!"
"Because who could you possibly like that's better than Japan?!"
America comes closer to me, and I pick him up.
I run back to the dorm, Meri hugging me tightly.
I lock the door behind us, then sit on the couch.
I ask "Can you tell me who you like? Since it's just the two of us."
"I-I don't want to tell anyone yet."
"Oh, ok. Will you tell me when you're ready?"
He nods.
I get up and start cooking dinner while he does his homework.
